          its a clear plastic thats usually in the middle of the fuel line, look at it. If it is old, chances are it would need to be replaced anyway. Its a cheap easy fix

                Sounds like the cat. Out of idle curiosity, I see more cat complaints about this car than any other, any idea why?
